Description

Sweet and romantic brooch with roses. This quite timeconsuming piece is made with attaching different rhinestones and metal findings into a whole. I failed trying to catch the true beauty of this white opal star shine, it has a yellowish-warm glow in the center that my camera was not able to photograph. These opal navettes are vintage Western Germany production.

 

Thanks for looking!
